Really? Only rich ppl drive cars?
Last time I was in Europe, I saw PLENTY of regular ppl driving cars.
However, unless you get those ICE off the road, nothing will change. And making public transportation free will NOT change things. The reason why they are not taken is that they are no convenient and were poorly designed.

So the company that put Windows rootkits on Redbook audio CDs puts backdoors in other products? Stunning!

The company that sold the PSP 1000 to early adopters at $250+ per unit based on all the things it would be able to do with expansions, then released expansions that only worked with later models doesn't take their customers' needs seriously? Shocking!

The company that advertised Linux on the PlayStation 3 then made it impossible to use Linux if you installed most of the newer PS/3 games stomps on their promises? Inconceivable!

Or... oh, wait... no, that's not it. The surprising part is that anybody trusts these shady jerks at all.

Few of china's old power plants are GW size. They tend to be.5 and under. It was not until the 90s when GE gave their info to China that things changed.
And even America has more coal plants that are in.5GW and lower, then in the >.5 GW size.

who says that they will do anything BUT that ?
Economics dictates that you run those plants for 50 years or more.
And considering that China continues to build up more new coal plants than they are putting in new AE (wind and solar and hydro COMBINED), it is pretty certain that China will not shut these down.

will not matter. Once the M3 hits the market, new ICE vehicle sales will slow way down. That is to be followed by the German car makers switching to EVs only in 2021 ( the gov says 2030 for latest, but wants 5 years from now).
It does not matter what Trump does. Oil is headed downwards.

visas are fine. Seriously. NO ISSUES with green cards.
The 2 big issues is the massive number of illegals living here (probably a lot closer to 30 million, not 12 million; last time, stats got it all wrong)
And then the huge misuse of H1Bs.

The solution is to add more visas for position based, as opposed to family based, while solving the illegals and remove the H1Bs.
In addition, for the position based green card, the pay needs to be at least AVERAGE for that position (no less), while the taxes are double of which the company will pay the second portion.

actually, the average working coal plant in America is around 300 MW. WIth nuscale it will take 6 units (50 MWe), but MPower is supposed to have 180 MWe. Likewise, the others are looking at 100-200 MWe.
